•  Welcome to our Classroom Website!
     
     It is my joy to be in my 14th year of teaching English in Anoka-Hennepin. I have taught both 7th and 8th grade Language Arts, and have been at Oak View for my entire career. I earned my Bachelors of Literature and Bachelors of Communication Arts and Literature Education from Bethel University. My Master's in Teaching and Learning was earned through St. Mary's University, and I have done additional course-work through Hamline University and Colorado State. I love learning! 
     
    Thank you for supporting your student's education, I am excited to work with your child and help facilitate their growth. Together we can help your child achieve success!
